Study of cross-talk in a planar HPGe strip detector

Presented by Dr. C.S. PALSHETKAR on 13 Mar 2018 from 2:00 PM to 2:15 PM

Content

An important observation common in strip detectors is the cross-talk occurring between its different strips due to electronic coupling between them. In the present work this has been investigated for a planar HPGe strip detector, proposed to be used in the g-array for the DEcay SPECtroscopy [1] measurements at the upcoming FAIR [2] facility. The effect of cross-talk on the summed energy signal from all strips is seen to manifest as a double peak structure around the expected photo-peak energy and a degraded energy resolution. An average cross-talk of 1.5% of the deposited energy for the AC side and 0.5% for the DC side has been observed. To correct for the cross-talk and recover the correct photo-peak energies, a correction procedure has been developed assuming that the cross-talk affects the energy in each strip linearly. Application of the correction procedure removes the double peak structure but over-corrects the summed energy. Reducing the cross-talk coefficients by an offset factor gives the best correction to recover the photo-peak energy. Nonlinear cross-talk is observed for Compton scattered events between different strips and is found to be the origin of the offset factor required for the cross-talk coefficients.
